Teeth Cleanings & Exams
Even if your child is brushing their teeth twice a day and seems to have great dental health, it is very important they visit us for a kids teeth cleaning and dental exam at least twice a year. Sometimes cavities can be sneaky. At these appointments, we will clean the teeth of plaque and food buildup and make sure your child’s smile is free of decay. We use DIAGNOdent, a laser diode, to illuminate the teeth and diagnose developing cavities. At these appointments, we will also provide a pediatric fluoride treatment or take any x-rays if necessary. Keeping up with your child’s regular dental exams can help prevent a dental emergency down the road.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays are a diagnostic tool that we use at our practice to make sure your child’s teeth, mouth and jaw are as healthy as possible! An x-ray can show us if your child has any impacted teeth, decay that cannot be seen during a visual exam, or issues with jaw bone development. Digital x-ray technology exposes patients to a significantly reduced level of radiation, and rather than having to wait for traditional x-rays to develop, digital images are available to view immediately.

Our team knows that sometimes children can find visits to the dentist to be stressful, but we work hard to make sure your child is smiling and having fun the entire time. For first time appointments, we offer a new patient special that includes a full teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment, exam, and x-rays. When the time comes, we can also refer your son or daughter for our orthodontic services. We also accept a wide variety of dental insurances, including Medicaid, UnitedHealthCare, Aetna, and more.
